A HEARTY CHRISTMAS
CELEBRATION
IN CHILD WELFARE ADOPTION CENTER.
The Christmas and New Year
celebrations organised for the children at the Kerala State Council for Child
Welfare’s adoption centre saw 25 of them, aged between two and five years,
enjoying the festive mood just as they would celebrate Onam or Ramzan, since
they had no tags of religion on them yet.And like they dressed up as Mahabali
during Onam, one of them became Santa Claus on Tuesday, adding to the moment
with a bag full of gifts. Joining them on the occasion were District Collector
K.N. Satheesh, who cut a cake, and actor Suresh Gopi with his daughter Bhagya
Suresh. Students of L’ecole Chempaka too enlivened the celebrations with songs
and dance programmes.
Many of the children at the
adoption centre, according to a handout from the council, were those who had
parents but with circumstances keeping them apart and therefore, could not be
adopted. There were 52 children as of now, including Dalan, the 15-day-old baby
who was found at the ‘ Ammathottil’ recently.Mr. Satheesh and council
administrative officer in-charge P. Sashidharan spoke, among others.
